Linux USB-Gurus

I am writing in search of a little help on a kernel module/patch to add
functionality to the Maxtor OneTouch[1] external hard drive's user
programmable button. It will consist of two parts. The first will be a
kernel module or patch (although right now it is looking more like a
patch, unfortunately)

I've run into a few roadblocks so far. The largest of which is the fact
that the device is already handled by an existing kernel module, namely
usb_storage. This presents a large problem, as I /also/ need access to
the device. I have already checked that the disk is only recognized as a
single device on the usb bus. My lsusb -v ouput is pasted below[2]

If anyone has any ideas on my next step, other drivers to look at, etc.
the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. (References
are below.
